I have had pain (paired with the crying) like what what you're describing, and I think it was a fissure or a thrombosed hemorrhoid.  It did go away and I didn't go to the doc for it.  I tried sitz baths and all sorts of ointments.  Nothing worked except time and being very careful not to make it worse when pooping: I would try not to push or get the pooping over with quickly (even though I wanted to). Putting an icepack on my bum helped a little. I'll be interested to hear what your doctor says it it.  I'm sure it could be other things too. Maybe I was wrong about my diagnosis.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

Thank you for the info.  It hurt so much today that I almost decided to go to the ER but it finally stopped hurting so bad.  I'm almost afraid to eat because I don't want to go though the pain later.

The reason why I thought it was a thrombosed hemorrhoid is when I was trying to figure out what the trouble was, I looked at my anus in a mirror, there was a dark red almost black thing just inside it.  I think that was the hemorrhoid all filled with blood.  Those can be extremely painful, I have read, so I assumed it was that.  Now that think back on it a little more, the ice pack helped quite a bit with the pain and swelling.  I recommend trying that.

After tests,  I found out that I have c-diff. My GI called in.   dificid. I'm an starting to feel better now. I don't feel like I am pooping acid now.  Thankfully.

So glad you found relief!  What did they give you to treat it?

Dificid.  Which is hard to find
